Surivied the first week

I miss the kids.  They have been back to school a whole week and I have missed them so much.  I am so out of a schedule but in the next few weeks it will get better.  My mom's group starts Thursday and then preschool starts the Wednesday after. Library story time a week after. So for the next few weeks the little boys and I are hitting up as many parks as possible..  I think it will be good once all the fall things start "falling" into place plus it will be just in time for the weather getting colder so less park weather.

Jake will start soccer soon and I just signed Victoria up for a great program called "Girls on the Run".  So that will be Tuesday and Thursdays. 

Life is just getting busier but it is good.  Kids have really started out the year well.

We are heading to Kamiah on Friday so lots to do this week.  Packing and cleaning.  I really have a hard time coming home to a dirty house.  So I try and clean more then normal right before we leave.

Friday night I got food poisioing.  I have had it once and I don't think this time was nearly as bad although I think it lasted longer.  I was so sick for 24 hours and then 24 hours of just being weak and tired.  Lee was gone FRiday night and then left early Saturday morning.  The older kids really step up and help so much until Lee got home.  But I am better although still weak and still a little tired. 

Work is slow tonight which is a good thing because I am not sure how my body would handle chaos.  I am sure I would have made it through just fine.  But now I am filling my time at work with watching documentaries on Netflix.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...
